Do Graphics matter to you?
I was in an XBL party the other night with a couple of friends and a few randoms. I happen to bring up the fact that Borderlands 2 is coming out and I asked who all is getting it. All I heard was a bunch of negative responses and people talking trash about borderlands saying it is crap because it has 'bad graphics'. So I asked them, "You guys only play games for graphics?" and they pretty much said yes. I was pretty irritated and I've lost a detrimental amount of faith in today's gaming generation. Since when do graphics become a main selling point in games? People buy a game for graphics over gameplay? It's absurd.

Depends. If the game advertises a lot about the graphics, and they suck. I will not get it. Here's why, if a game advertises about it's graphics so much, it indicates that they spent a lot of time on the graphics. (Possibly indicating that other areas of the game didn't get as much love) When the graphics are mediocre, it shows me that the thing they spent 90% of their time, resources, and power on, isn't very stunning, and that other parts of the game will be even worse. (This is where reviews come in) Sometimes that isn't the case. Look at Gran Turismo 5. Advertised as the most realistic looking racing game. Graphics looked great, photorealistic at certain times. What happened was that they seemed to spend most their time on graphics, and very little time on anything else. The game lacked in gameplay regions.
